JIRA Plugin Development Kit

I haven't seen any example of a workflow validator, could it be possible to have one?

I have tried to implement a plugin for a Validator that restricts the maximum issue priority for reporters belonging to a given user group. The parameters of that validator are the choosen maximum priority and the group which is restricted to that maximum. When adding the plugin to Jira 3.0 I get a ClassCast Exception when I add the validator to the workflow (it is also noticeable that velocity template to input parameters is not shown when this happens), but the same code works for a condition which performs a similar job.

Can someone help me? I can share the code with those interested, and when fixed it could be added to this kit if the author considers it appropiate.

Thanks.

Mariano,

Thank you very much, Scott.

For people interested in tracking this issue, here is the URL.

http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-6313.

Though I could not make validator to show a user friendly advisory on create issue screen, the plugin works showing an exception. Maybe the code is useful to be included in a future plugin sdk.

JiraCreateSearch may be useful to read in conjunction with the dev kit.

Here is a stupid question ...

How do I install/configure the Jira development kit so I can use it?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi guys,

I have some comments as for the version naming. For me, personally, it's a little bit misleading to call the JIRA development  kit jira-development-kit-3.4-r2.zip while it applies for 3.4.1 version of Jira. Can it be just called jira-development-kit-3.4.1.zip? Would be so easier...

I haven't seen any example of creating a new project tab panel, could it be possible to have one? Thanks

I also would have liked to see a new project tab panel example/tutorial.

Now that I have muddled through it and created one, I would like to know if there is a place specifically for developers to post tutorials for other developers.

Not using IDE or Eclipse, the process for even getting started on plugin development took some time and it would have been nice to have information on plugin creation that completely avoids discussing IDEA, Eclipse, and Maven.

Iw there is no dedicated place for this type of developer input, I will be posting on my personal web site, but I would prefer if it was on the atlassian site. The JiraDev forum doesnt seem a very good place as the threads will get lost in the sea of questionos and answers.

jmock-1.0.1.jar is missing from jira-development-kit-3.6.tar.gz, causing build errors in several test cases.

Will the development kit be updated to maven2?

Cheers,

Mikko 

Hi guys,

I don't know if I make something wrong, but the installation fails everytime I try it.
I followed the instructions until I arrived at number 3. Yes I know, not very far.
At number 3 maven downloads some packages and try to build.
Now the Error:

BUILD FAILED

File...... C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Dohmmy\.maven\cache\atlassian-idea-plu

gin-3.5.1\plugin.jelly

Element... j:import

Line...... 49

Column.... 76

null:-1:-1: <null> Could not parse Jelly script

Total time: 3 seconds

Finished at: Wed Nov 22 11:58:50 CET 2006

 After a short look at the given plugin.jelly I noticed that maven had searched for a file named project.jelly:

<j:import file="${template.dir}/project.jelly" inherit="true"/> 

There is no project.jelly at the template dir and so no project.jelly in the used folder for the new template...

Now my question: Is there anything wrong in what I'm doing or is this a known bug or or or...

Thanks,

  Thomas

I downloaded the Maven 2.0.4 and jira-development-kit-3.6-1.zip. Installed the Maven and unzipped the development kit. Then went to the one of the example directory, e.g., C:\jira-development-kit-3.6-1\examples\plugin-customfield-sample, and run mvn jar, andit failed with the following error message:

 C:\jira-development-kit-3.6-1\examples\plugin-customfield-sample>mvn jar

Please tell me what else I have to do to build the jar file for the examples.

 Thank you very much.

Is the JIRA Plugin Development Kit for the latest JIRA 3.7-beta2 available or the current Plugin Kit works for the 3.7 beta version?

thanks,

I got the 3.7 development kit, compiled the custom-field example, deployed to the 3.7 beta 2. I tried to modify the custom-field example to display the editable field for "Administrators" role. It did not show the editable field for the user with "Administrator" role (The Administrator role is set correctly), instead it shows the read-only field. I am not sure if the change I made in the template is correct or not. Attached is the template I modified to try to test the role (not group):

edit-jiraadminonlytext.vm:

#controlHeader ($action $customField.id $customField.name $fieldLayoutItem.required $displayParameters.noHeader)

#if ($authcontext.user.inRole('Administrators'))    <==== here what velocity command I should use for Role?
<input type="text"
name="$customField.id"
value="$!value" />
#else
#if($value && $value != "")
#set ($displayValue = $

Please help.
